"Good morning class. Today we begin a training class that will increase your strength our goal is to increase your skills exceptionally so each of you own a provisional licence this will allow you to face the dangers that continue to fester in the darkness. Proceed carefully look alive Bakugo try throwing that for me." Sternly, Aizawa explains to his classmates as Sayako's eye twitches from the sheer nerve of the male before her having the nerve to wake her up this early as he passes the soft ball to Bakugo.
"Yeah sure like in the fitness test." Bakugo recalls.
"Yeah right, just like in the fitness test your school record was 705. 2 metres lets see if you've improved." Aizawa reminds him as he steps forward.
"Oh I get it we're checking our progress." Mina smiles recalling it.
"A lot has happened to us in the last three months maybe he can throw it a whole mile now?" Excited, Sero ponders.
"Come on get it Bakugo!" Kirishima cheers for his friend making his way to the front stretching his arms a bit.
"I got this. No one blink. GO TO HELL!" Bakugo roars throwing the ball high into the sky.
"…That was 709.6 metres." Calmly, Aizawa reveals as everyone's eyes widen and the gushing goes flat from the reveal.
"That's it? Kinda disappointing." Sero furrows his brow.
"You've had a single semester at U.A due to your various experiences all of you have definitely improved but those improvements have been mental prowess and technical skill with a slight increase of stamina thrown in along the way. As you can see your quirks themselves haven't improved much on a fundamental level. That's why we're now focusing on improving your powers. This will feel so hard it will feel like you're dying let's hope you all survive." Sadistically, a familiar grin appears upon Aizawa's face making Sayako grimace, feeling a shy shudder crawl down her spine knowing that look anywhere as training finally begins.
"We're focusing on our quirks?" Kendo raises a brow at Vlad King as the rest of Class B snore, snoozing as Kendo swiftly catches one of her classmates falling into the dark depths of sleep, catching her before she fell flat to the ground.
"That's right you all need to catch up. Last semester class A was in the spotlight next seems it's class B's turn. For now on your shooting for the top. Don't let me down!" Vlad explains to his class.
"I get you want everyone to improve our quirks but we have 20 unique powers in our class what kind of training will get us all better?" Setsuna points out to him.
"Yeah can you be more specific?" Kenda asks.
"When your muscle fibres are overused they break and grow back tougher thicker quirks are the same way they improve the harder you push them stronger after every work out in other words there's only one thing to do you'll have to break yourselves!" Proudly, Vlad slams his foot down on a nearby rock posing as the class B jolt up at the screech.
"ARGHHH!" Katsuki slams his hands into boiling water releasing a huge explosion up into the air screeching.
"Katsuki Bakugo he's plunging his hands into boiling water to increase his sweat glands and creating chain explosions to increase the scale of his bane of attacks!"
Silently, Shoto remains in the iron tube of water, bubbling from the fiery flames beneath him as he slams his hand down on the drum tub, releasing a wave of ice then melting it with fire as sweat slithers down his face.
"Shoto Todoroki alternating between ice and fire he's regulating the temperature of the water he's getting accustomed to the cold and he's adjusting his flames. Someday he might be able to use both at once!"
Smirking, Sero soars through the sky, using the forest trees to leap high into the air only to cry out as he is swiftly kicked to the ground by a soaring Sayako using her threads to easily catch up, slamming Sero into the ground.
"Urgh no fair Saya…" Sero pouts groaning as he lays limp in his own net of cellotape, frowning at the girl continuing on as he returns to his training.
"Hanta Sero and Sashiko Sayako, having him produce tape continuously will increase his capacity and improve the tapes tensile and shooting speed. Having him race alongside Sashiko Sayako while having the two perform air combat will help improve their physical prowess which Sero is lacking in. On the other hand, having Sayako have only set of clothing on her she'll have to learn how to fight against Serow while keeping her fibres firm around her or at the least try to keep her clothes on!"
Ojiro slams his tail bashing against Kirishima's hardened skin as the two brawl it out.
"Ejiro Kirishima and Mashiro Ojiro every time Ojiro this Kirishima with his hardened skin with his tail their quirks are steadily improved!"
Crackling lighting spews out from the mountain top where Denki resides screeching as electricity flows through him to the battery before him.
"Denki Kaminari by running his currents through a high capacity battery he's learning to handle larger amounts of electricity!"
Screaming, Koda cries out to the animals of the forest some pigeons perk up at his voice.
"Koji Koda in order to increase the reach of his anivocie he's doing vocal exercises to help him build up his range it also helps him become less shy!"
Aoyama fires blast after blast in the air despite the blurry blue sickly tint to his cheeks.
"Yuuga Aoyama he's budling his body by blasting naval lasers this increases his attack so he can use it even with tummy issues!"
"DARK SHAADDOW!" Tokoyami screams as he resides in the dark depths of the cavern.
"Fumikage Tokoyami his goal is to keep control of dark shadow even when it goes wild!"
Sickly, Ochaco is thrown side to side as she is helplessly holding in her breath as she is thrown within the ball going up and downhill.
"Ochaco Uraraka she's getting her inner ear canals to use her zero gravity to reduce nausea all while increasing how much weight she can lift!"
Relentless, Ida continues running throughout the field.
"Tenya Ida hardcore long drifter, running helps increase his stamina!"
Focused, Asui uses her tongue climbing up the rocks of the mountain where below her…
"Tsuyu Asui she's working all her muscles in her body including her tongue!"
Hungrily, Sato munches down upon the cake on the table as he lifts up a wight in one arm.
"Rikioy Sato he's lifting weights while scarfing down the sugar that he needs for his sweet quirk!"
Besides him is Momo munching down on what appear to be fancy chocolates as her other hand creating familiar Russian nesting dolls.
"Momo Yaoyorozu also stuffing her face she hopes to amp up her creation quirk and shorten the amount of time needed to use it!"
Pumped up, Jiro slams her earphones into the mountain.
"Kyoka Jiro amplifying the quality of her audio by homing her headphone jacks!"
Mina winces as she secretes acid slowly but surely making a dent in the mountain that Tsuyu climbs upon.
"Mino Ashido by constantly creating acid she can increase her skin's durability!"
On the ground, Mineta cries prying ball after ball, a pile made as crimson currents leak down from his skull.
"Minoru Mineta increasing the strength of his scalp to keep his head from bleeding even when he's popping off balls!"
Focused, Shoji looks around with his extra eyes and ears unaware of a crisp packet in the window catching a single leg before drifting off into the wind.
"Tooru Hagakure and Mezo Shoji they're improving their quirks by Shoji making multiple dupli arms to hunt down Hagakure who's working on her stealth!"
"Oh man…this is pretty intense…" Kendo remarks impressed.
"Operative types will be raising your limits maxing out your power and the rest most of it will be you strengthening body parts into your quirk. Now normally these changes happen as you grow…" Vlad attempts to explain but…
"But we don't have time for that your class has a lot of work to do." Calmly, Aizawa approaches Class 1-B.
"Once we team up with Class A they'll be forty students here it's a whole lot of quirks for only two homeroom teachers to manage on their own." Kendo exclaims.
"Which is why we called them." Aizawa exclaims just as…
"That's correct four kittens and one litter." Ragdoll declares hands on hips.
"Your feline fantasies are here say mewow." Mandalay begins winking.
"Now who wants to lend a helping paw?" Ragdoll exclaims.
"We're chapions serving up justice with our perfectly groomed tails." Tiger poses.
"Purrfectly cute and cat like heroes!" Pixiebob winks.
"We're the wild wild pussycats!" The group chorus.
"And I'm dead." Sayako cackles as she falters falling to the ground from the cat puns being too much for her, her time at a certain agency finally taking its toll, she thought she could be better but…
"Sayako!" Worriedly, Sero swiftly catches her as they continue on training.
"Full version!" The group declares.
"Dammit!" Bakugo snarls letting out another explosion into the atmosphere.
"I'm ragdoll and my quirk is search I can look up to one hundred people and know everything about them like their location and weakness." Ragdoll smiles.
"With my earthflow I can make the ideal training ground for every student!" Pixiebob declares.
"And my quirk is called telepath I can give advice to multiply people at once." Mandalay tells them.
"The name's Tiger and I'm here to beat you guys to a pulp." Tiger introduces himself posing alongside his teammates.
"I have questions about him…" Kaibara exclaims but it falls to deaf ears as…
"DAMMIT!" Bakugo's screech easily blocks him out.
"All you kids with strength quirks time for Tiger's boot camp! Class A is already sweating! So catch up quirk! Come on show me what you got!" Tiger roars hands on his hips.
"5% Detroit smash!" Midoriya reels his fist back but…
"If you don't push yourself you won't shred your muscle fibres and then you won't get stronger!" Strictly, Tiger easily dodges Midoriya's hit, hitting him back as he comes crashing into a tree and falls flat, slumping to the ground.
"R-Right S-Sir…" Meekly, Midoriya stutters bowing his head.
"I can't hear you!" Tiger roars.
"Right sir!" Screeching, Midoriya repeats.
"He's scary…" Kaibara's features darken from the sheer intensity of Tiger's teaching.
"You want to be plus ultra don't you? Then show me what that means." Mad, Tiger demands.
"YES SIR!" Screeching, Midoriya complies, nodding his head eager to continue training despite the blood sweat and tears freely falling from the battered being that is Izuku.
"That guy's way more intense than I expected…" Scared, Shishita groans, having no clue what he had gotten himself into as training finally begins for class 1-B.
"Now remember what I said we're not serving your food anymore." Pixiebob announces to the group exhausted slumped over every fibres every inch, every ounce of energy sucked dry from today's training but did the kittens care? Well…
"If you guys wanna eat you'll have to eat your own meals starting with curry! Hahaha don't you guys look exhausted! But that doesn't mean you can make sloppy cat food!" Cackling, Ragdoll reveals tears in her eyes mocking them.
"Yes mam…" Tired, the students slump their shoulders.
"I see another important part of saving someone recovering from a disaster is proving for their physical needs as well as spiritually this is a great opportunity let's make the most delicious curry in the world everyone." Tenya gushes as he turns to the rest of the class as Sayako's eye twitches thoughtfully sending curse after curse in Ida's direction.
"Yeah…okay." The others chorus as they begin cooking.
"Um Aizawa…" Frowning, Sayako approaches Aizawa one of the packs in hand.
"What is it Sayako?" Aizawa arches a brow at her.
"I tried looking at the back of these mixes but am unsure if there's milk in it." Sayako reveals.
"What milk you allergic to?" Aizawa asks surprised.
"Cows. "She reveals as he looks at the back, his eyes narrowing.
"Right I'll have a word with Mandalay you don't mind helping out." Aizawa exclaims.
"I don't think I have a choice." Sayako furrows her brow when she sees Katsuki with a knife and Ida staring at a peeler, admiring it almost as she returns to swiftly correct Ida in the proper procedure of peeling while she raises a brow at Bakugo's knife skills as the cooking begins.
"Never have I been more happy to wear fresh clothes." Relieved, Sayako smiles from ear to ear as she stretches her limbs happy to not have the worries of splitting on her just having finished dicing.
"Yeah just like putting some fresh clothes on after a shower." Sero smiles by her side.
"Exactly Sero. You get it." Pleased, Sayako nods her head at him.
"Hey Todoroki can we get some fire over here too?" Mina asks him.
"Bakugo use an explosion to light that!" Kirishima smirks at him.
"This is so beneath me!" Smugly, Bakugo blasts the furnace but…
"Too much!" Tokoyami exclaims horrified at the now destroyed furnace.
"Rely on others and you'll never learn to start a fire yourself we should focus on acquiring new skills." Momo says as she creates a lighter making both Jiro and Sayako share a look.
"Here let me." Todoroki kneels down, providing said flame.
"Wow thank you so much!" Ochaco thanks him.
"Burn baby burn!" Mina cheers.
"But not too hot okay?" Ochaco smiles sweetly at him bringing a small smile to Todoroki's own lips.
"We did it!" The others cheer finally finishing their cooking.
"Sayako." Sayako jolts up at the hand turning to him as the others take their seats.
"Yeah?" She looks up at Aizawa.
"We looked through it seems safe." Aizawa tells her.
"Thanks." Sayako smiles.
"Though we would appreciate if you had told us prior." Politely, Aizawa hints.
"I thought it was in my profile besides it didn't really come up. I'm usually better at that sort of thing." Sayako scratches the back of her neck.
"It was but you never mentioned it before." Aizawa points out.
"It never came up then again I think lunch rush knew…" Sayako furrows her brow, her dad had sent them her medical record.
"Yeah just when going out on one of these tell us ahead of time yeah?" Aizawa hints.
"Yeah sorry for the trouble." Sayako exclaims as she then turns back finding herself sat by Todoroki.
"Is everything alright?" He asks her.
"Huh?" Sayako raises a brow.
"I saw you talk to Aizawa." Todoroki exclaims.
"Oh that yeah, had to ask teach if I could eat it." Lazily, Sayako brushes it off.
"What do you mean?" Shoto quirks his head to the side.
"Oh I'm lactose intolerant." Sayako reveals.
"Lactose?" Shoto's eyes expand from the news.
"Basically can't have cows milk makes me vomit though there are some cases of me having a rash." Sayako furrows her brow at the memory, she remembered when she first had a rash she was crying and itching all over while her dad was applying the ointment her other father was worried sick thinking she had become allergic to the fabric of denim, his priorities still astounded Sayako to that very day.
"Sounds painful." Shoto furrows his brow.
"Eh it's nothing really I mean it's nothing like a peanut allergy you could die from those." Truthfully, Sayako points out.
"I see…" Shoto nods his head as a still silence enters the air, a comfortable one as the two eat their meal.
"If I got this at a restaurant I'd send this crap back but after today I'll eat every bite!" Hungrily, Kirishima chomps down on his food.
"Don't say that!" Sero snaps worriedly.
"Whoa you're scarfing Momo." Mina smiles leaning back briefly turning to the girl, politely hungrily eating her meal, never had Sayako seen someone eat so politely when they were so hungry, her father was the same she supposed. He would eat the most organic of foods and yet eat so flawless no mistake, no stain, no nothing. It amazed Sayako it truly did.
"Yes my quirk transforms lipids into brand new atoms to create an organic material that means the more I eat the more I can make." Momo explains to Mina.
"Sorta like how poop works." Sero blurts out making Sayako reel back, doing a double take heaving, huffing, slamming her palm down on the table as she begins choking, tears collecting in her arms as an alarmed Todoroki pats her back, hitting it as she finally regains her breathing.
"APOLOGISE!" Jiro snaps slamming her fist into Sero's face.
"Okay I'm sorry!" Sero cries out.
"SERO YOU BEAUTFUL BEAUTFUL MAN! HAHAAHAH!" Madly, Sayako bursts into a fit, cradling her torso as Todoroki simply sweat drops at his animated friend as she wraps her arm around him bringing him into a side hug, cackling at the comparison unaware of the ashamed Momo in the corner and Jiro swiftly stabbing both of them with her earphones…
"Midoriya you okay?" Frowning, Sayako furrows her brow when noting the miserable Midoriya looking down at the floor sadly.
"Yeah I just…I was talking to Koda about his parents they…died they were heroes and…" Sadly, Midoriya begins, slumping his shoulders. Sayako's olive hues widen when hearing his words alarmed.
"Wait, wait you're telling me you spoke to a child about their parents dying." Scowling, Sayako furrows her brow at him.
"Well…" Midoriya trials off.
"Midoriya he's a kid do you know how stressful it is thinking about it?" Stunned, Sayako hisses at him making him grimace glancing to the side.
"Then he needs to talk about it." Feebly he argues making Sayako stare stunned at him.
"Midoriya you can't just force him to talk about this nor can you just bring it up you got to let the kid talk about it in his own time with the people he trusts that he knows will understanding." Tiredly, she pinches the bridge of her nose.
"Right…hey Sayako your dad he was a hero right?" Midoriya bows his head as Sayako stops her cleaning up briefly, turning to furrow her brow at him.
"Yeah…" Softly, Sayako whispers.
"What was it like having a hero as a parent?" Midoriya asks noting her grip tightening around the plate.
"Well its…different from most parenting I'll say that much." Frowning, Sayako begins.
"What do you mean?" Intrigued, Midoriya asks.
"When I was a kid, heck even when Hikaru was but a babe, we'd always be pushed towards our aunt Kiyoko to take care of us even then she would try to raise her but most of the time we'd be raised by strangers due to work." Sayako attempts to explain, staring down at the water below.
"Strangers?" Midoriya raises a brow.
"Nannies that sort of thing." Lazily, she shrugs.
"You were rich?" Midoriya gasps making her scowl.
"We were maybe once either way due to how busy my dad's schedule we didn't really get to know him we knew him as the hero saviour surgeon we knew as much as you did I guess because by the time he would come get us we'd be long asleep, any sort of assembly or important thing hero work would get in the way and as a kid. You don't understand why it doesn't get easy, especially when they begin sending the nannies to record the stuff." Scowling, Sayako feels her grip tighten around the sponge, spewing out water.
"That's…" Midoriya begins his greens soften when noting her glassy green.
"It was a cold environment I guess you could say we were offered whatever we wanted, the latest toys, the latest fashions, the latest cuisine, we were spoiled but I knew why it was to make up for the lost time. They thought buying us would make us just…let it go. Look Deku as selfish as this sounds when you're a kid the whole world revolves around you that is how you feel so when you grind out your parents are risking their lives for some strangers it doesn't usually make you proud it. It makes you angry it makes you scared when you try to stay up late only to find out your dad is in hospital or he comes limp in saying he's fine despite the cast, despite the bruises, despite everything…" Seething, Sayako scowls her nails digging deep into the sponge slamming her eyes shut at the memory.
Loudly, the bang of the door alerts the young girl who jolts up from the table prying her head off the table where a pool of salvia lies. Her greens gaze at the door, a big beam of a smile upon her lips only to falter, her heart dropping at the familiar stench of iron…
Stunned, she stares horrified at Tsunagu dragging, holding Kazz, his arm wrapped around his shoulder as he places him down on the sofa unaware of her shaking glassy green gazing at the blood, at the bruises of purple and blue littered all over him of the scars, of the pained whimpers…Horrified, she gasps placing her hands over her mouth as with that little mouse like noise alone alerts Tsunagu, his olives meeting her own as the two stare at one another.
"Sayako I need to be as strong as the strongest fibre and get the first aid box okay?" Gently, Tsunagu tells her softly breaking the still silence between the two reaching out to her as she nods shakily, swallowing the vomiting crawling up her throat, quickly grabbing the first aid kit.
"I need you to be brave for daddy alright sweetheart, I need you to be brave can you do that?" Tsunagu asks her as she silently nods, helping remove Kazz's shirt, her eyes widening when seeing the bullet wound as he gets out a knife and Sayako is instructed to hold her father down. The young girl whimpers when seeing the blade impale into her father's side, picking out the shell, struggling, she tries to hold, to pin him down, Tsunagu's threads doing most of the work as finally…it's complete and a shaking Sayako stares down at her crimson coated hands, shaking, shuddering as next thing she knew, she felt the burning searing sensation of the substance crawling up, spewing out of her before she came crashing down, descending into the dark depths of her subconscious, smelling nothing but acid and iron.
"I…I never knew that." Midoriya whispers as Sayako blinks taken aback form blanking out.
"Sorry I went a bit intense there." Sheepishly, Sayako scratches the back of her neck, a strained smile on her lips.
"No I didn't mean to bring back memories." Midoriya bows his head.
"It's fine why are you even asking?" She asks him.
"I…Koda lost his parents to a villain and ever since then…" Midoriya reveals making Sayako furrow her brow.
"Midoriya you can't change someone's opinion no offence you haven't lost your parents." Sayako tells him.
"But…!" Midoriya attempts to argue back but…
"Just leave it Midoriya forcing someone to change their opinions is no better than enforcing it. Everyone has different opinions and you have to respect that." Curtly, she cuts him off.
"But he's a kid!" Midoriya argues making her groan.
"And kid's have the right to make their own decisions sometimes, it can change in time yes but you shouldn't force it okay?" Fed up, she snaps at him.
"O…Okay Sayako?" Midoriya turns to leave but falters.
"Yeah." Sayako sighs exhaustion etched into her fatigued facial features.
"I…I'm sorry for bringing back those memories." Midoriya apologies making her sigh slumping her shoulders before finishing the final plate and drying her hands with the cloth.
"It's fine I shouldn't have lashed out like that. Just get some rest yeah we got a big day tomorrow!" Sayako slaps the back of Midoriya's shoulder.
"R-Right!" Meekly, Midoriya smiles strained as he and Sayako head off, heading to their own respective sleeping chambers unaware of a certain red eyed blonde listening in…
"Oi brat…" Scowling, Bakugo approaches Kota whose eyes expand at the voice turning to the blonde.
"What do you want?" Rudely, Kota glares daggers at Bakugo.
"Shut up we need to talk." Bakugo barks at him.
"Don't touch him!" Screeching, the voice yells out as everything went by so fast, one moment he was in the villains arms the next, all he could smell was blood as she had ran he was so confused why were they running? She could beat him, she could always beat him! She could destroy him, she could…
"Why are we running? We can't let the villain go, we can't just run we just can't leave him there!" Trembling, Bakugo bellows, his voice cracking breaking thrashing in her arms that is until he saw it…his heart had dropped, his blood had turned ice cold when he saw the torn sleeve, the stained crimson dripping down.
"S-Sis?" Meekly, Bakugo looks up his glassy ruby reds gazing into a pair of raw reds, staring straight ahead, looking so…scared. But that couldn't be right, she was a hero, she was his hero, she was…she was… He felt it, he felt her grip tighten around him, her shouting at them to keep going, to keep moving forward and to keep smiling but…his raw reds lingered, the dam finally breaking as he stared stunned at the empty sleeve that was where an arm was meant to be…
"I said to go away!" Kota's shouts snapping Katsuki out of his thoughts.
"I ain't leaving till you hear me out." Katsuki steps forward frowning.
"Tch whatever…" Kota turns away from Katsuki.
"I knew this kid once he had this sibling of his now this sibling had a quirk that was powerful, he thought she could rival All Might, he thought she would be the next All Might she even got into UA the best of the best for heroes. He wanted to be just like her, he'd watch her sports festival recording over and over, he'd listen to her talk on end about it all, he'd even ask to be taught a few moves but…" Katsuki begins, furrowing his brow at the memory.
"But what?" Kota arches a brow.
"One day this kid was kidnapped." Katsuki grimaces.
"Kidnapped?" Kota exclaims.
"Yeah, by some villain, the kid tried all he could but in the end he was weak, he was helpless it wasn't until his big sister came to save him that he learned what it meant to be weak." Katsuki seethes snarling baring his feral fangs, his fingertips curling into a pair of fidgeting fists, feeling his blood bubble, burn, boil.
"What do you mean?" Kota quirks his head to the side.
"It was thanks to that kid's carelessness, thanks to his weakness, his helplessness that she lost a very important part of herself that day. And yet… she smiled and held the little boy, telling him everything was okay as the police came, the boy cried, screamed. He clings to his sister's side. She…went away for a while, she may have been there physically but up there? She was gone. The boy was very sad, he felt helpless, it was his fault. If he had been stronger, he could have beaten that villain, if he had been smarter he could have fled from that villain, if he had just listened to his big sister then maybe things would have been better." Bitterly, Katsuki slams his eyes shut seething, snarling, shaking his head, bowing his head pained.
"Where did she go?" Meekly, Kota questions.
"The boy didn't know all he knew from that point on was that he had to get stronger, he had to be stronger, he had to be number one, he had to be the hero his sister missed out on being. That's all I gotta say eat this crap and get back down, it's fucking freezing up here…" Fed up, Bakugo places the plate down on the ground before storming off leaving Kota alone, slowly but surely making his way over to the curry…
